What Is Sleep Apnea?

This common condition occurs when breathing becomes repeatedly interrupted during sleep.

Dr. Ludka has been practicing dentistry in Bowie, MD, for over 30 years. He looks forward to helping new patients overcome their troubles with sleep apnea. He will take the time to understand your concerns and educate you about the specifics of your diagnosis and treatment options.

The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This condition occurs when throat muscles relax and block the airway, causing breathing to become repeatedly interrupted during sleep. Over time, sufferers can struggle with chronic exhaustion, headaches, sore throat in the morning, dry mouth, irritability, mood swings, and more. In addition, OSA can threaten your overall health by increasing your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and more.

A custom-designed oral appliance from our practice can help you find relief from symptoms, enhance your quality of sleep, and protect your overall health.

We Are Here to Help

Sleep apnea is often undiagnosed because patients do not realize that they stop breathing during the night. Furthermore, snoring is another very common sign of sleep apnea, though people often do not know that it is associated with this condition. If you notice any potential signs of OSA, you should seek a professional diagnosis.

In most cases, we can effectively treat OSA with individually designed oral appliances. Worn while you sleep, this custom device will gently and gradually move your jaw into proper alignment. Dr. Ludka will pay close attention to detail throughout the entire treatment process, helping to design an oral appliance that will fit comfortably and securely. Thanks to his comprehensive care, you can enjoy better sleep, a more active lifestyle, and improved overall health.
